Hi guys
I was wondering how do the reactions of other peope affect you, when you first tell them that your child has T1D?
It seems to have a rather strong effect on me these days. There are 2 types of reactions, the first one is "it is not such a big deal, these days diabetes it is totally manageable, etc", or they simply start to cry and cannot find any words...
I am still new to all this (little over 2 months since dg) and just looking for someone who would tell me that "everything is going to be OK", but that somehow doesn't happen.
These days the reactions of other people can really put me down... After I've just been able to achieve some kind of inner encouragement, obviously very fragile, and then the "crying reaction" happens, and I am, like, oh my good, this is really scary, it's never going to be ok...
I just wanted to share some thoughts on this and see how you feel about it.
Thanks for listening
Nat
